In the springs (Dad) Aug 5 2023

 Hey Elder Pixton!

I hope this email finds you well after (what I hope) was a great first day in your area. So awesome to think of you out there doing the Lord's work. We've checked on your luggage tags a few times and it looks like you are in an area with lots of springs and water. Not sure if you have a dry spot in your mission.

I'm sure you've had a long few days and I hope that you find the 'Lord's Rest'. I think the Lord blesses us to recover quickly when we are in his service and hopefully you've seen that, but it is all new to you so, that might not be on the forefront of your mind.

This week in come follow me, we've been reading about Paul's journey to Rome to preach to those people and about how he was shipwrecked and stuck on an island for a few months. Made me think of you a little bit; being stuck in the MTC for an extra day and probably feeling like you live in the airport. So call that you did some contacting in the airport. cool to think about you sharing the gospel and those people going all over the world. 

Anyways, so excited to hear about your first day and to hear about your area and your ward(s) and trainer. Hopefully you have someone obidenant. Don't be afraid to call him out if he isn't being obedient. Sometimes mission presidents will send strong new missionaries to trainers that need a wake-up call and a reminder of their call and responsibility. Sometimes we all need to have someone with that spark and faith to push us.

Lots of love, hope you have a comfy bed; not that you'll be in it much.
Dad

Ive got lots of practice now.  It is once again the day of tues This morning, we just went to the church and made programs for Gayle's baptism. It took like 2 hours for us to figure out how to make the printer work, but we figured it out. On the way back, i was eating some pretzels, and the age-old question came to mind: What are pretzels? We eventually came to the conclusion that pretzls are just crunchy bread Elder Potokar is such a cool dude. We just did a bunch of finding in his area, and it was a party. We saw this abulance and fire truck pull up in a neighborhood we were at, and it turns out a kid crashed on his bike, and his handlebar went through his leg. I dont know how it happened, but we talked to some of his friends who wer

this isn't my weekly email, but here's this for you guys tuesday for breakfast I had some yogurt, i put toast in the toaster but I forgot to eat it. so now its still there. this morning we had to postpone personal study so we could go help this dude named Johnny. Johnny has no legs and he stockpiles a bunch of toys so he can give them out to kids. the problem is that none of them were sorted. they were all mixed in with eachother. so we went through them all and sorted them by gender and age group and all that fancy stuff. after that we went to the food bank to go help out again. we had a lot of people there so we pretty much just stood around in the cold for two hours. lunch was subway. I figured we should probably start using our subway giftcards... we have a grand total of 100 bucks in subway gift cards. after lunch we drove to Mayo to go say hi to a bunch of referals. there was this one guy who filled out a request for us to come by (he was also legless... if I had a nickel
